IN MOST AMERICAN CITIES during the first half of the twentieth century, the distance between worksite and resi­dence tended to increase. This was due to improvements in transportation corridors, advances in real income, and availability of the automobile to the middle income class which correlated with the purchase of new homes in the suburbs. Traditionally, the journey to work took the labor force to areas in or near the central business district of the city. In the recent past, however, the movement away from these centers by industry, retail establishments, offices, and other users of downtown space has led to …

The State Of Black Omaha 1980, Center For Public Affairs Research (Cpar)

Publications

In early 1978, the Urban League of Nebraska published a report designed to measure the status of Blacks in housing, employment, education, health care and political participation. At that time, Blacks in Omaha were found to be deficient in all the above areas in relation to the general community. Today, in early 1980, the basic facts of that report have not significantly changed.

Older Hispanics In Nebraska: Their Characteristics, Attitudes, And Needs, David R. Dimartino, Carole Davis

Publications

The successful delivery of human services requires rational program planning. Rational program planning, in turn, requires evaluation of 1) the needs of targeted client groups, 2) the availability of established services to the potential clients, and 3) the utilization of available services by the client population(s). The success of human service delivery systems, therefore, must incorporate the assessment of public programs in terms of the correspondence between client needs and service provision and usage.
